Really awesome concept and eerie without going too overboard, I found the IRL plot/ARG to be a little goofy but found the act of exploring an abandoned game to be really enthralling.
If I can make one nitpick: having a VERY easily accessible NPC give you the name of an area that's just a bunch of dumb skeletons doing 2020s meme poses is about the quickest way to pull me out of a game ever. Hard to get too invested in the lore of exploring an unfinished 2000 PC RPG when you walk into a room with a skeleton dabbing and another one with the dialog "sus". Wasn't funny enough to warrant briefly breaking the game's tone, especially with how good a job it does pulling you into the concept.
